With Eth2 growth continuing quickly, there at the moment are many discrete areas of labor {that a} group of motivated hackers can full over a weekend. The bounties under embrace helpful instructional instruments for Eth2 growth, obligatory tooling, and helpful analysis.

Members of Eth2 groups shall be out there remotely in the course of the hackathon to reply questions from hackers and supply recommendation associated to those prizes.

• Quick viz: Given only a single BeaconState, visualize the final occasions and validator registry state (suggestion: use lodestar code to work within the browser)
• Attestation encompass/double vote checker (suggestion: have a look at eth2.0-pm repo concern 63)
• Attestation pool: make a naked bones device that listens on the attestation aggregation subnets and world internet, and present what’s there (suggestion: begin with logging acquired attestations)
• Beacon node load balancer: implement a validator API that proxies visitors to any wholesome up-to-date beacon node (suggestion: take present http proxy, and give attention to the nodes well being standing)
• Netstats2: log/visualize the well being standing of a listing of eth2 testnet nodes (suggestion: prysm or lighthouse testnet, begin with easy api queries like newest block)
• Merkle multi proof builder: try simpleserialize.com and the tree visualization. This may very well be enhanced with checkboxes in every node to interactively create multiproofs with (suggestion: begin with a easy proof encoding format – Cayman Nava and Proto shall be out there to assist on the ETHWaterloo discord)
• Validator monitoring: a service which you can level at a validator and it notifies you if the validator is offline.
